Pictures of Gardens and Water Elements

I must have Spring Fever because I'm thinking of gardens a lot.

Here are some pictures of gardens with water elements.

The one on the right was taken in Burma; it's a flower arrangement in a huge jar with water.

The next three fountains with plants were taken at Sonya's Garden in Tagaytay, Philippines.

The picture with the koi was taken at Antonio's in Tagaytay as well.

The picture of a circular fountain in a garden was taken in San Miguel Allende in Mexico.

The "creek" was taken in Makati, Philippines, and the last photo was taken in Burma.

I want to remind you, dear Readers, that pesticides can kill bees.
Please don't use weed killers and bug killers in your garden. As it is,
many domesticated bees have been dying, and I understand wild bees are
also suffering. If you can, please plant bee friendly plants and
provide them with water.
